One of my favorite science experiences was going out in the Panamanian rainforest to find and study tropical songbirds. I lived close to Soberania National Park (next to the Panama Canal) with my family, and we would hear howler monkeys from our house. I caught birds of three different species, put small radio transmitters on them, and then would go back to find them and record their behavior. In my photo, I am studying birds in the Florida Everglades.
